Last night, I had a bizarre nightmare about flying a fighter jet in the year of 2047, trying to defeat a rogue outdated Drupal site that became sentient and decided to destroy the world akin to Horizon Zero Dawn. It also somehow involved a misconfigured view. 🥲 #Drupal

The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns.

continuing my rant against this stupid TikTok deal, it requires “retraining the content recommendation algorithm on U.S. user data to ensure the content feed is free from outside manipulation,” which means nothing because our regulators don't function and you can't trust anybody in this chain

Dear Bonehead,
If a drug drops from $100 to $13, that’s an 87% cut not 700%. Basic math: (100–13)/100.
